Romans 3:27-28. Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by the law of faith.28 For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law.

We boast in whatever it is that gives us our value or worth. We boast in whatever our faith is in. This is the law of faith. “To live is Christ” eliminates all boasting other than boasting in Christ and his work in your life. Faith in Christ and his righteousness means no more self righteousness. In its place we find the freedom to love unconditionally and without manipulation, knowing that we are forever safe in Christ.

What do you boast in? How can your union with Christ begin to eliminate your boasting?
